Last week I passed through T3 staff entrance several times with only a pound coin in my pocket and no other metal on me and the detector beeped every time, maybe they could swap the machines around. After all I've had my background checked twice
in the last twelve months and passed both times, more than can be said for the SLF, and I'm expected to act as unpaid security on the ramp If I see anything suspicious which is more than the security staff do and that is what they are there for!!
On a side note the reporter went airside at 04.30am and showed a BA 146 taxying...........please.........no BA traffic after 00.00 untill the JFK lands around 05.30am
